La Santa Muerte: Embracing Holy Death by Yayo Dreaco and Erik Andrew Rivera

Death does not hide. She waits, she watches, and she embraces all.

For centuries, Santa Muerte — the Lady of Holy Death — has been misunderstood, feared, and condemned. Yet to millions of devotees, she is a goddess of compassion, justice, and unconditional love.

In Embracing Holy Death: An Expanded Guide, Yayo Dreaco blends lived devotion, spiritual practice, and cultural history to offer one of the most complete works on Santa Muerte available today.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The ancient origins of Santa Muerte and her connection to Aztec and Mesoamerican traditions.

• The meanings behind her robes, scythe, globe, owl, flowers, and other sacred symbols.

• How to build an altar and create rituals for protection, healing, love, and abundance.

• Prayers, petitions, and novenas — from the traditional to the deeply personal.

• Advanced practices for those ready to walk further with La Flaquita.

• Personal stories and testimonials from those who found strength, miracles, and transformation in her embrace.

This book is not academic theory — it is living devotion. Whether you are new to Santa Muerte or already walk with her by your side, this guide will give you tools, clarity, and courage to deepen your path.

She does not ask for perfection. She asks for truth. And when you give her your truth, she will never abandon you.
